DUBOSE v. US 2
Mr. DuBose brought suit against the United States in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, seeking $100,000,000 “pursuant to the Fed-
eral Tort Claims Act 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b).” Compl. at 1. The
district court dismissed, and Mr. DuBose appealed to this
court.
We do not have jurisdiction over Mr. DuBose’s “appeal
in a case brought in a district court under . . . [28 U.S.C.
§] 1346(b),” which instead belongs in the appropriate re-
gional circuit court of appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2). Un-
der the circumstances, we conclude that transfer to the
Third Circuit is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1631. See
28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
The motion to transfer is granted. The appeal and all
its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Ap-
peals for the Third Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
